Why is candle flame yellow?
candles burn with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion
Which candles would burn longer cake with 8 candles or cake with 7 candles?
As long as they were all lit at the same time, they would burn for the same amount of time (regardless of the number of candles).
How do white candles burn faster than the colored candles?
White candles may burn faster than colored candles due to the presence of chemical additives in colored candles that can affect their burn rate. These additives can change the composition of the wax, wick, or flame, leading to slower burning times in colored candles compared to their white counterparts.
How do you prove that candles use oxygen?
Light the candle and put a glass jar over it. Watch the flame of the candle closely. When the flame goes out, this means that the flame must have oxygen to burn the candle. This is how candles use oxygen.
Why does scented candles burn faster then unscented candles?
Because scented candles are scented using a chemical smell that will make the flame burn more through the candles wax.
Do frozen candles burn faster than room temperature candles?
No, frozen candles do not burn faster than room temperature candles. In fact, the cold temperature may actually cause the frozen candle to burn slower due to the wax needing to thaw and melt before it can be consumed by the flame.
Which brand of candles burn the fastest?
There must be thousands of different brands of candles. Maybe you meant to ask what type, like paraffin or Beeswax? From my experience with candles, the ones that burn fastest are narrow paraffin candles, especially cheap ones. Birthday cake candles are a good example. A narrow candle has a smaller liquid pool at the top, causing the wick to burn down quicker, and also allows a lot of the wax to run down the sides of the candle, which starves the wick of wax and consumes it faster. Also, the size of the flame is not necessarily larger on a bigger candle. Flame size is dependent upon the size of the wick, and the liquid wax's ability to saturate and climb it. The wick only begins to shorten when there is not enough wax available to keep the wick saturated. A thinner candle generally has a higher Flame/mass ratio, allowing the wax to be consumed faster.
What does a candle need to burn?
Because candles need feul, oil, and oxygen to burn.Without oxygen it will burn out.
Do candles that were in the microwave burn slower or faster than room temperature candles?
Candles that have just come out of the microwave will burn faster because the microwave has already burned it as it is, adding a flame will just continue the process. Whereas if it was room temperature you would have to start the whole process from the beginning.
How do wicks work in candles and other flame-based products?
Wicks in candles and flame-based products work by absorbing the liquid wax and drawing it up to the flame. The heat from the flame vaporizes the liquid wax, which then burns and produces light and heat. The wick acts as a fuel delivery system, ensuring a steady and consistent burn.
Why does a candles flame go out with diff lids?
A candle flame requires oxygen to burn. Putting a lid on a candle deprives it of oxygen, causing the flame to go out. The lack of oxygen prevents the combustion process from continuing.
Do candles all burn the same?
No, candles burn differently based on factors such as their wax composition, wick type, and size. For example, soy candles burn slower and cleaner than paraffin candles, while cotton wicks tend to create a more stable flame compared to wooden wicks.
